## Summary

The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has completed a public procurement process titled "Information Technology - Data Strategies and Delivery." This procurement falls under the data services industry category and was conducted in London, United Kingdom. The process utilised an open procedure, with a total contract value of £1,000,000. The contract period commenced on 9th June 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st May 2022, having officially been awarded on 1st June 2020. Key contact details for the buying organisation include their email at commercial@culture.gov.uk and telephone number +442072116824.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in data services, particularly those with expertise in IT strategy, data governance, and artificial intelligence/machine learning applications. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially suited to compete for this framework, as DCMS seeks innovative suppliers to enhance their data framework and uncover improvements within existing business processes. Companies that excel in developing and supporting data strategies could find this a lucrative pathway for growth.

## Notice

DCMS is seeking to set up a single supplier framework focused on improving and optimising the delivery of the department's IT data strategy. DCMS requires a supplier to undertake the following methodology for each business requirement/statements of work: Discovery, Design, Develop, Deliver & Support DCMS' current business processes, reviewing existing data sources and flows, and uncovering critical areas for improvement; in particular, applying AI/ML techniques, as well as identifying quick wins for immediate implementation. A supplier is required to develop 'data strategies', data governance principles, the solution vision and implement the roadmap for an accredited data platform for various DCMS teams. Although largely understood, the landscape of what the supplier needs to support DCMS with is yet largely to be completely defined, as the requirements of departmental teams are at various stages of development, with some lacking maturity.
